We are in the beginning stages of planning a grand unleashing of the urban agriculture advocacy powers that are now divided among the various urban ag initiatives on campus. While we have a date, (February 4, Mark Your Calendar!) it is really too soon to begin practical planning of the event, or spreading the word in a big way. I just got too excited meeting with Adam the other day, and wanted to begin the discussion about what the role of the Community Agriculture Club should be, and how we should use all these resources to create the most dynamic synthesis of everyone’s urban ag ideas!

An online forum of some sort, perhaps through this website, to continue the discussion after this event ends

We look forward to partnering with all sorts of environmental groups on campus to set this up. Please e-mail us if your brain, like Adams has, and now mine has, takes this idea and runs with it to all sorts of great ideas. If this makes you enthusiastic and begin thinking, please get in touch so we can hear your ideas and get your input!
